How about the dry-ice method? Anyone tested that one yet? I have some dents I'd like to take out. Also, in SouthDakota I seen it forsale at Super Walmart

I swear with that big of a dent you could have gone inside and pushed it out with your hand. But I would like to see if this works.

...just like how you can unlock car doors with a tennis ball.

The key with the method is that it needs to be a fresh dent to work. It works with a hair dryer and dry ice. Ever seen a car with hail damage and it gets better when it sits in the hot sun? Metal has a memory, so it wants to go back where it was. As it stays like that the memory goes away, so it won't work on an older dent.

Haha, wow. I've never heard of that. It sure is good to know you can carry a tennis ball instead of a large and awkward spare key.

I'm calling BS on that one. That would be like unlocking your car by putting the key in the lock without turning it. If, that is, you could even create enough pressure to lift all the tumblers. Lock cyllinders aren't exactly a sealed unit.

PDR work is not that expensive if you know someone that does it. I have a full PDR kit that I bought a couple of years ago, haven't had time to learn it so it sits under my workbench. It's an art.

PDR is a pain in the ass to learn. I've tried it on a couple jobs at work, and failed miserably. It's definatly not something you can figure out in a couple hours.
